It looks like we have a Sanctuary County operating in Virginia. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has just revealed that Fairfax County, Virginia refused an ICE detainer request and released an illegal immigrant charged with felony-rape without even notifying them.
They’ve since apprehended him and said he was initially released into the country in 2021 after coming her illegally from Honduras.
Here’s more from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin:
NEW: An illegal immigrant from Honduras who was released into the US after being apprehended by Border Patrol in TX in June 2021 is now charged with felony rape & abduction by force in Virginia. He was arrested by local police there, but the Fairfax County jail didn’t honor ICE’s detainer request – and released him back into the community without notifying ICE. ICE in D.C. found him and rearrested him again. Now in federal custody.

Below is the full report from ICE:
Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Washington, D.C. arrested an undocumented noncitizen charged with felony rape by force, threat, or intimidation; abduction by force; and assault on a family member. Deportation officers from ERO Washington, D.C.’s Mobile Criminal Apprehension Team arrested the Honduran national on Oct. 12 in Herndon, Virginia.
“This undocumented Honduran national has proven to be a detriment to our community and a threat to Virginia residents,” said ERO Washington D.C. Field Office Director Russell Hott, “ERO Washington remains committed to apprehending criminals who are released back into the local population when a detainer is not honored. We will not allow such noncitizen offenders to roam free and victimize innocent people.”
The undocumented noncitizen unlawfully entered the United States on an unknown date, at an unknown location, and without being inspected or admitted by an immigration official.
U.S. Border Patrol arrested the Honduran national near Roma, Texas, in June 2021, issuing him a notice to appear before a Department of Justice (DOJ) immigration judge.
Officers from the Herndon Police Department in Herndon, Virginia arrested the noncitizen on July 20, 2023, charging him with felony rape by force, threat, or intimidation; abduction by force; and assault on a family member.
Later that day, ERO Washington, D.C. issued an immigration detainer on the Honduran national with the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center (FFXADC) in Fairfax, Virginia.
On Aug. 17, 2023, ERO Washington, D.C. determined that FFXADC released the noncitizen without notifying ERO.
Deportation officers from ERO Washington, D.C. arrested the undocumented Honduran national on Oct. 12, 2023, and served him with a notice to appear before a DOJ immigration judge.
The noncitizen will remain in the custody of ERO Washington, D.C. pending the outcome of his removal proceedings.
It sounds like the Governor of Virginia needs to start removing lawless officials in Fairfax and whip that sanctuary county into shape!
